and learn new things, together we grow. join us, become part of our enable me ukraine family. with the support of the national assembly of persons with disabilities of ukraine eneeible mercuri. congratulations to everyone who joins espresso, we continue to collect information for you from all corners, from the north-eastern direction, from luhansk region, we will move to the south, again to the kherson direction, we looked at the situation, as they say, with civilian eyes on right bank, and now the captain of the armed forces of ukraine, valery prozapas, will explain more and will tell about the military situation in the south, mr. valery, we congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, mr. valery, what you are primarily interested in is precisely this

left bank in the kherson region, because the kremlin sent a manual, vayenkory, russians write and quarrel among themselves, some write one thing, others say, you are lying, unsubscribe from the border resource, he is not showing you the truth, in a word, all this is around the wells , by the way, they have a face-to-face fight, so what is really happening there, then what can be said, you know, once... the enemy has irritation in the analysis of this situation, of course, i will not help him, and say, especially as an active serviceman with specific locations, with units, with the tactics used by the armed forces, well, i simply do not have the right, but i want to point out that this journalists have been asking me questions for more than a week, and this is how you show the map, on the map...

you can see everything perfectly, i think that such and such specifics should be aired more in general, and in particular, not only on your tv channel, but in particular, and of a single marathon, because sometimes the questions that people ask me, who are far from analyzing the situation, they are simply strange, because some part of the population is convinced that we will be in jonkoi, and the map shows everything. what is the situation on the left bank and what should be prepared for. in general, i think that this is a beautiful, underrated article, once again by the ukrainian population, our main head of the committee , zaluzhnyi, i refer everyone to it, read it, please, everything is written there. ugh. mr. captain, we cannot disagree with you, but we also understand why there are such people expectations in the population, on the one hand, that's all, people. are pushing to such thoughts

that it is the second week here, and we have already won in jonkoi, and even in feodosia, on the one hand, on the other hand, we simply believe in what we want, and it is difficult to imagine any other scenario, but as you say, the maps show something else, and reports from the general staff also show something else, about in particular the construction of defense structures in the kherson region, how this process and actually this defense looks now from one side, and from the other side the offensive and potential further advance on the left bank, how did it change with the onset of cold weather with the arrival of winter? well , of course, the weather reduces the intensity of infantry units, and sometimes affects the work of heavy, even heavy equipment, but modern means of aerial reconnaissance of fire damage, drones, etc., they, well, do not depend on

weather conditions, so despite what it may seem , that now it seems to be such a comfort, it is not so, because the fighting continues along the entire front line, and in particular in the kherson region as well, regarding the construction of protective structures fortifications in the kherson region, again i can't specify, i don't participate in this, i only participate... in the fortifications of my unit, and we do this constantly, we do it even from the abyei direction, that is, the armed forces are not used to to fortification, to strengthening one's positions, even in the offensive, and here by the way, well, it so happened that our land has known such a war, there are many positions left here, both ours and the enemy's, on the left, or rather on the right bank.

kherson oblast, because they tried to hold the defense here in the summer of 2022, well, that is, i i think that it is based on the developments of the general staff that the key areas will be determined and such reserve positions will be prepared, i think that this is just not the most, not the most, not the most complex , not the most complex element of our defense, it is much more difficult to organize supplies and production directly in ukraine, in ukraine, modern types of weapons , because this is the key to victory, well, this is exactly what you, you said, read carefully, the main committee of the armed forces of ukraine, everything is said there, he also talked about the technological side of the winter war campaigns for the following year. mr. valery, i still know you, your positions even before you came to the defense of the country, and i know that you were not silent about injustice, but here

we have such options, on the one hand, the ukrainian truth says that the supreme mainly the commander, zelsky communicates with some commanders of the armed forces of ukraine. bypassing the central committee of the zaluzhny armed forces. in addition, this is already the second week, it is an absolutely idiotic situation, because we know that if some quilter or an underdeveloped insta-woman, something on on the sidelines, then on the same day, with tears and tears, an apology is written for having said something bad about our defenders. and here there is only one deputy, but she was removed. in our country, inviolability has been conducting a mass information campaign for two weeks against the bench of the armed forces and is the most quoted in the russian federal means of propaganda, so in this case, how do the troops

react to this and what is your position? well, first of all, i will repeat again, as an active military serviceman, i will not comment on any rumors about the relationship of the supreme the commander-in-chief with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, i consider it incorrect, especially when, you know, when some unnamed source throws it into the media, well, i also consider it incorrect, for example, ukrainian pravda journalists can somehow confirm it, or is it some element of a hybrid information war, maybe it's a lie, maybe, that's why i won't comment on rumors, all the more so. what is military subordination, military vertical, well, again, our society mostly knows little, knows little about it, but i i consider it unlikely, and as for maryana beuzha, here i consider it correct to say that

this person is deliberately working for the enemy, because such things can be afforded by someone, maybe a blogger, some person who has no influence on the situation, and maryana has already been a people 's deputy of ukraine for almost 5 years, she is the deputy of a very serious committee of the verkhovna rada, she has influence, she headed serious tsk from wagnerivtsi, from ilyvaysk, events, that is, this person is completely in the topic of the ukrainian national ... safety, please, maryana volodymyrivna, work, you have a monomajority , you have the support of the president's office, let's get results, why make an otaku quarrel on the same place, which really demotivates people who do not understand what is happening, i will repeat once again, in my opinion, this lady should

be engaged in the service of the security of ukraine, panetan, thank you for your position, but i also want to ask how similar news is reacted. in general, everything that happens in the ukrainian information space, which speaks not from the trenches, but from comfortable studios, and like ours, from warm studios, about such things, as they say guys, we understand that they don't have time to read all this every day, but sometimes, when they have a day or half a day to rest and come across the news, well, you know, this is such an illusion that it's as if the military are people who are disconnected from reality , don't have time, just, you know, military 24/7 readiness, 24/7 in communication, because this is our job, we have any minute, to respond to any events, on the battlefield and so on, to receive combat orders,

so there is just enough time to read the news, but the reaction, like the reaction, people who directly know the situation at the front and how all this is happening in general, well, as misha podalyak recommended to us, to treat with irony the words of people like maryana, well, we treat with irony both maryana and mr. padalyak, but such bitterness still remains after what we observe, mr. valery, i still wanted to ask you, i am watching a lot of announcements at the end of the year, in particular , very large numbers are mentioned for the military state order for the ministry of defense, and special vehicles will be 700 were ordered pieces of armored vehicles and by the number of bc , many orders have also been announced. is it somehow felt by you in the semi-southern very important direction, or is it still

the same for and for you and for the military from the rank of toasts for all the good and waiting? when you are dealing with such an enemy as the russian federation, there will never be enough equipment, bull, modern weapons, but from what i see, i am observing almost soon... i do not see these two years of a critical lack of something in the armed forces. of course, this does not mean that it is enough to be to make some strategic breakthroughs against the occupier's defenses, but still , it should be noted here that we are also making progress. what the experts say is what we have, because we mostly receive money from our friends, partners, a certain amount of weapons and equipment. that this is enough to hold the line, to keep the front line in the same place,

to move back and forth a little, but as you say, not enough to break through, how much would be necessary to multiply what is there to be able to move successfully forward with minimal losses, because this is really very important, i understand that everyone wants an answer to this question, but in particular i am not at a strategic level and i think that such numbers and such information still have a limited circle of people who have to access to them, and again, war is a very specific thing that records everything that happens on the map, but if you look at the map, then on the map you immediately understand, it is clear, at what point in time, who has more power and what it leads to , that is, i still urge to teach society not to to receive ready-made recipes and ready-made, ready-made information, which is very often ... pseudo-experts who talk about coffee in yalta, then two or three sundays, then it

will change something, some supply of one type of weaponry, this is a process, and we have to grow up including in the perception of this information , well, i try to listen to your words as well, i hope that our viewers can distinguish very easily where information is, and where as in the ukrainian truth, as you said, healing sources that are difficult to confirm, mr. valery, thank you for your service, thank you for inclusion, valery prozapas, captain of the armed forces, this is the kherson direction of the ukrainian-russian front, a short pause, after which we will look at the situation through the eyes of serhiy zgurets, director of information and consulting of the defense express company, be with espress. attention, an incredible new product from unpack tv: super warm and very comfortable alas boots. perfect fit, water-repellent material and a feeling of warmth even in 30-degree frost. alaska

thanks for watching. i remind you, i remind you that there is one mystery this night, in addition to the traditional attacks on ukraine, well, in fact , the russians have now come out of their forces, in the morning with such that the most massive attack by drones on the crimea, this is actually written by everyone, even those who pretend to be liberal. but i see that they still refer to data from the ministry of defense 40 drones 41, well, i say, you see, i said that we will wait a little, the number will start to grow, but now we will just start like that to warm up, actually, it is from this, because it is difficult to talk with the russian ministry of defense and tv , but on this issue we will start a conversation with the director of the information consulting

company defense express, serhiy sgorets , in touch with us, mr. serhiy, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to you, there in russia the ministry of defense shot down a terrorist attack by ukrainian drones, they say , a mass of 40 or so, everything was flying, everything was shot down , they say, everything was shot down, in the public places of our locals in kerch, in particular, they say, there were 30 explosions , we heard no less, the light disappeared, we saw nothing further, so that’s what happened, well, i think , what happened is probably another karma for the russian troops on the territory of crimea, and now there are attacks by ukrainian drones, which have been used for these purposes before, regarding the results, i think, let’s wait, one way or another, literally there in a day or so, even less will be known about where the drones go hit and what exactly was the target for those drones that regularly attack russian

military facilities, and essentially complicate the lives of the russian occupiers in crimea, and their combat potential, judging by your smile, you really like what happened this night in crimea, the russians themselves write that they seemed to be aiming, these drones were flying somewhere over oil depots, and they write that most of the explosions were heard in the district of kerch, feodosia, the old crimea, places we all know and know where it is on the map, can estimate how far did these drones have to fly in order to get there... now about something else, about 17 million shells, such a huge amount, it was announced that this is exactly how much is needed in order to liberate and de-occupy the entire territory of ukraine, and the amount for to liberate this territory, 350-400 billion dollars are needed, and i already have experts

analyze that 17 million shells, there are no such number of shells... now, if it was necessary to collect from the whole world, and not only from our partners, these are the data, these numbers were announced by the heads of the pentagon austin during the meeting, what do you think, are the expectations a little high, or is it quite realistic, if you analyze what was happening and how many more territories need to be deoccupied? well, it is easier for me to assess the situation in terms of shells, because the number of 17 m is indeed a significant number, in fact, by the way, it is indicative that with approximately this number of shells, the russian federation began a large-scale aggression against ukraine, but when we talk about the use of our artillery, then from somewhere when we talk about the supply of ammunition large caliber, on average, the rate of use of nato ammunition by our

artillery ranged from 90 to 250 thousand per month, and in fact we really wanted to be able to use at least 500 thousand ammunition per month, but such indicators were not achieved in any month. and when we talk about the 17 million spares that we requested from osten, if this information is true, it does not mean for what period of time, because in any case, if we are talking about 3-4 years of fighting there , then one way or another, it is a certain amount ammunition, perhaps 2/3 of this amount will still be needed, but the problem here is the pace of ammunition production, because , relatively speaking, the paradox is that before the active war, the united states, if i am not mistaken, produced 15,000 ammunition per month, all the european companies in general

produced somewhere in the range of 30,000, that is, in fact , these were insignificant figures in view of the current needs, now at the end of the 24th, at the beginning of the 25th year, the americans are going to go out somewhere on 1000 ammunition, as well the europeans should reach the figure of 100,000 per month, that is, in fact, two million american europeans will be able to produce by the end of the 24th year. and what ukraine can reach, to what extent, this is a question from general hodges, he says, if we were to give gunpowder, where will your production of projectiles be in a year and a half. it's a good question, well , you want to be honest, because honestly, we really, i'll give you an example, if poland and the czech republic, poland started to manufacture caliber ammunition there. 155 mm signed in 2010 2015, the contract with the czechs for licensed production for the receipt of 2,000 munitions only after 5 years in 2015, i.e.

it took 5 years for more than 2,000 munitions to start production from scratch in poland in cooperation with the czechs. when we now say what ukraine did, indeed, we had work done at the artemma plant, the creation of 155 mm caliber ammunition, this program was actively promoted, but it was very slowly implemented in practice, because the production lines were not created, and so on and so forth. and in any case these figures, which we need, we still have not achieved them, and now we are also trying to speed up these processes a little, creating ammunition and mines there in cooperation with our western partners, it is really a serious challenge, so partly benhoj is cunning, because we the volumes we needed did not come out, but we took the first steps in this direction, the question is that these steps had to go to such a normal marching pace for the production of at least, well at least 5-7

ammunition per month, i would consider that these the indicators would also be quite high considering the start-up opportunities we had before the active phase, let's look at other production then, it was absolutely on the march, i say. about our self-propelled artillery installation by bohdan and bohdan, well, for us, they were deeply remembered in the fact that they are effective, b, there is actually not a single one of them, this is such a sao that even the muscovites on the island of snakes lashed out, but in this case the information that we are going to manufacture up to six units is given every month, is this again a reality or a toast announced in a live telethon,

well, the president of ukraine stated this and he crossed it out as such a positive indicator, i am here ready to support him, because relatively speaking, when we talk about sau bohdan, then this is the first sample of a self-propelled artillery installation of the nato standard, which we began to develop there, before the war. and indeed she is currently performing tasks on the battlefield, she has transformed during this time of the war, she has moved there from the krause base to the tatra base, which is the main thing, added such an element as an element, automatic, adding or loading , so to speak, not to manually push the projectiles , as they do now in the first version of bohdan, which we now see on the video, but with the help of a special, forwarder, that is, a mechanical one. .. means that accelerate the rate of fire and the rate of 6 sauns per month i consider quite positive, because there is such a french howitzer

caesar, so in france, the monthly rate of production of howitzers caesar, which we also received as part of the armed forces, was two howitzers for a month, and now in conditions of war, for a year and a half there, they managed to switch to the production rate of six saus per month, this is in france, where the project existed for much longer, it was planned and so on, more money and so on, and now, relatively speaking, we have the same pace there, like the production of such self-propelled guns in france, but in any case... this is a much more serious challenge for our industry, because it is necessary to create guns and barrels for these self-propelled guns, i think that this is the most difficult element of the entire self-propelled installation, and further this chassis, armor, chassis , in which all our ukrainian ranks of our ukrainian enterprises are involved, so i think that this is a good indicator if we reached the possibility of manufacturing six self-propelled guns, bohdan per month, which is capable of destroying targets, there depending

on the projectiles from 20 to 40 kilometers, and indeed it was used to attack the russian invaders who were occupying the snake island at that time. the question here, mr. serhiy, is whether if we reached an indicator of six bohdan per month, whether it can be stable work, or whether we are ready every month we will and will be able to produce six such bohdans, and of course there is also the question of calibers and shells for this bohdan. because if there is nothing to shoot, it can be a little more difficult, and actually good news from the germans, because their concern rein metal, they have now received a large order for a large amount of almost 150, million euros to produce a large number of these shells 150- millimeter for ukraine, well, they give them more than a year, yes more than a year, for the 25th year we have these prospects, until

the 25th year, do we have to draw from where projectiles, we are actually returning to this topic, our own production and help from partners, well, the topic of ammunition remains the most relevant in any case, because the amount of ammunition will determine the course of hostilities in the next year very fundamentally. when we talk about rain metal, it is our fairly reliable partner, because rand metal supplies us, in particular, let me mention ammunition for the cheetahs, red metal fulfills a contract for us for 100,000 mines, caliber 120 mm, and grenmel is actually one of the most of powerful enterprises in europe, which manufactures ammunition with a plan to produce 7,000 152 mm 155 mm caliber ammunition by the end of the 24th year, they will be the leaders in europe as a whole, now that the delivery of this ammunition to ukraine, and earlier this concern had a contract for

the supply of 155 mm projectiles to ukraine, it ammunition was delivered, will be delivered in the 24th year from the previous contracts, this contract is for 150 million dollars, this is a contract with the supply in the 25th year, and to be honest, now the cost of ammunition has increased significantly, i think that this 150 million, it's somewhere on average there are 50,000 rounds of ammunition, so in any case the needs of the armed forces are on the ... well, red metal capabilities, if we say 50,000 rounds of ammunition, well, for our needs , at least if we count there 250,000 per month, relatively speaking, this is only a fifth of our needs for, as they say, a penny for a penny, a shell for a shell, mr. serhiy, thank you for the analysis and comments, serhii sgorets, director of the information consulting company defense express was with by us

it is now 9:00. a time when we honor the memory of all those who died as a result of the russian invasion, military and civilian. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
